About
I have been in business for over 20 years. I have extreme attention to detail in lighting, editing/retouching and making sure my clients look their best in front of the lens. I shoot tethered to my MacBook in the studio and on location. This is very helpful for my clients, they are able to see the results on the spot. I take time to get to know my clients, it's not just about photography, it's about building relationships. I work well with all personality types and I am great at getting people comfortable, this ensures more great images to choose from.
Doing what you love is freedom. Loving what you do is happiness.
I love all aspects and genres of photography and post production. I do my best to get it right in camera, but there is a lot of magic that happens in post production. I love seeing the final product and hearing the positive feedback from my clients.

Prior to going to the photoshoot I was apprehensive about the process. I didn't know how many clothes to bring, what clothes to bring, how I should hold myself, etc. But Mark was unbelievably comforting during the photoshoot. He answered everyone of my questions prior to the shoot and he walked me through the process every step of the way. I would undoubtedly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a photographer.

Our original photographer canceled at the last moment, and Mark was able to jump in at a moment's notice. He was very professional, had great ideas about where and how to shoot, and was super efficient. I am thrilled with the work Mark did and would receommend him highly.

I engaged Mark for production photography and the pictures came out exactly how I wanted them to be displayed online. He understood from the get-go what type of pictures I wanted and he delivered. What I really appreciated was the professionalism he displayed and how he went out of his way to make sure the photos were not just "fine" but great. I highly recommend him as I will be using him again for sure.

Mark was considerate of my schedule. Was able to do a later shoot. He had fantastic equipment and setup. He ensured promptness with his work and the quality was incredible. He also allowed me to review photos before we ended the session.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is very competitive. I am always open to communication regarding budget when starting a new client. I do my best to work within their budget.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Once the communication process starts, I find out what my clients specific needs are. Then we discuss what the images will be used for, what type of end result they are hoping for, how many final images/files they will need. We discuss whether we will do a session in the studio, on location and lighting for the project.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am very involved with the PPA. They have ongoing online classes, breakout sessions, tips, tricks and many other avenues for staying current and up to date.
